Property overview

We are delighted to bring to the market this Category B Listed mid-terraced, three-bedroom, two public room property. Oozing character and charm, The Old Bakery is, as the name suggests, a former bakery, shop and house believed to date back to approximately 1860. Conveniently located in the heart of Kincardine O’Neil, the oldest village on Deeside, and within the village’s Conservation Area, the property offers tastefully presented and generously proportioned accommodation spanning two floors with two additional attic rooms.

Externally, The Old Bakery is further enhanced by an integral garage, parking, lawn and deck to the rear.

Enter the property through the front door into a welcoming hallway which, in turn gives access to the lounge and dining room.  The hallway houses a carpeted staircase to the upper floor and a door adjacent to the staircase leads to the integral garage.

The lounge is a striking room which exudes warmth and tranquillity.  It features a stove set within an ornate surround and mantel which is flanked by two illuminated alcoves.  A door from the lounge opens out to a deck which boasts a sunny aspect and leads to the remainder of the rear garden including the garage, parking area and lawn.

Across the entrance hall from the lounge is the dining room.  This is another stylish room to the front which offers ample space for a large table and chairs.  Shelved alcoves to either side of a coal fire offer excellent storage facilities as well as space for display purposes.  There is additional storage under the window.  Please note that it is some time since the fireplace has been used, but it is believed to be functioning.

The dining room leads directly into the dining kitchen with a utility cupboard with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer.  The kitchen is fitted with a range of white matte base and wall units with contrasting dark worktops and splashbacks.  Additional storage is available in a large, shelved pantry which houses an electricity circuit breaker. The kitchen has space for a table and chairs and free-standing fridge and freezer.  The range cooker is to remain.  Towards the rear of the kitchen is a door to the rear garden. 

Returning to the entrance hallway, a carpeted staircase winds up to the first floor where there are two double bedrooms and a single bedroom to the front with the family bathroom being conveniently located to the rear with ease of access from all three bedrooms.

The principal bedroom features a delightful decorative fireplace and is served by a dressing room offering excellent fitted storage facilities.  A door connects the principal bedroom to bedroom three.

Bedroom two has two fitted cupboards, one which is shelved and the other which has a hanging rail.

Bedroom three is a generous single room with space for free standing storage and furniture.

Completing the first floor is the family bathroom comprising a stylish roll top bath with shower above, a wash hand basin, WC, heated towel radiator, a fitted storage cupboard, window and extractor fan.

From the first-floor hallway, a door opens to a second staircase which leads to the attic floor offering eaves storage and two attic rooms.  Each of the attic rooms has a decorative fireplace, a charming bay window and two fitted beds.

Outside

To the rear is an integral garage which is served by power and light.  The garage houses the central heating boiler, and it has an up and over door.

There is parking in addition to the garage.

Next to the parking area is a drying green. Beyond the drying green, steps climb to a door which opens to the kitchen.

The deck is easily accessible from and ideally positioned immediately outside the lounge.  It enjoys a sunny, sheltered aspect making it the perfect place for outdoor entertaining or al-fresco dining.
